Data network A, nodes 1 - 22 cabling example
Use the following figure and table to connect cables for the data network A, nodes 1 -
22. The node ports referred to in this table are 10 G ports.
Note
In this example, data switch ports have been intentionally left empty. These empty
ports can be used for other user-allocated purposes. If no other use is required for the
empty ports, nodes may be connected to the data switches without leaving empty
ports. However, ensure that on each node, each NIC is connected to a different data
switch (either Data Switch A or Data Switch B), in order to prevent a single point of
failure in case a switch fails.
